Electronic Engineering and Computer Science
Audio Systems Engineering H657 BEng/ASE (three years) H642 MEng/ASE (four years) Programme description These programmes use mathematics and engineering techniques to enable you to understand how technology is applied to music and audio. You will learn how computers and electronics shape electronic musical instruments, digital audio systems, music downloads, sound effects and games. In addition to a team project in your second year, you will complete an individual final-year project that will be supervised by a researcher in our world-leading Centre for Digital Music (C4DM). Martyn Ware, founder of ‘80s bands The Human League and Heaven 17, record producer and world-leading 3D sound artist, is a Visiting Professorial Fellow in the School and takes an active interest in C4DM, where he brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to these programmes. The MEng follows the same structure as the BEng for the first two years with an additional two years of specialisation in advanced multimedia, music analysis and synthesis and statistical methods for signal processing. You can transfer in to the MEng from the BEng until the end of the second year, subject to satisfactory exam performance.
